Pretty blooms are the cherry on top of a perfect wedding day. From the ceremony, when the bride walks down the aisle carrying an armful of stunning blooms, to the bouquet toss at the end of the reception, the right arrangement of flowers can really tie a celebration together.

Every year we reach out to the country’s finest florists and ask them to create one-of-a-kind bouquets for our annual list of beautiful wedding bouquets. Inspired by everything from the latest bridal trends to their own vision of a dream bouquet, these floral designers have created some of the most gorgeous masterpieces imaginable.

<b>Bouquet by <a href="http://www.akikofloral.com/index2.php#!/HOME" target="_blank">Akiko Floral</a> in Edmonton, Alberta</b><br />
<br />
<b>From the florist:</b> With Bohemian inspired florals being all the rage, nothing exudes modern style more than bouquets created with flowing blooms such as clematis, hellaborus, pieris, seeded eucalyptus, anemone and ranunculus. This bouquet was designed to be not only asymmetrical, but also to create the look of a naturally-gathered arrangement.<br />

<br />
<b>From the florist:</b> This bouquet is inspired by the modern bride who wants something loose, organic, earthy and rustic. While subtle in colour, the richness of this bouquet lies in the varied texture of the flowers and foliage layered throughout. A wedding celebrated outside in a field, in an old barn or in the ruins of a historic, stone Mill would be the perfect setting for these flowers.<br />
<br />
<b>Flowers:</b> Pieris, anemone, eremurus, agonis, foxtail, salal, nandina and eucalyptus torelliana seeds.<br />

This all-white bouquet is composed of a mixture of delicate and lush spring blooms loosely arranged in a romantic garden style.

<br />

<b>Bouquet by <a href="http://flowersbyjanie.com/" target="_blank">Flowers by Janie</a> in Calgary, Alberta</b><br />
<br />
<b>From the florist:</b> This bouquet was inspired by the transition from springtime to summer using a variety of pastel-hued spring flowers including ranunculus, hyacinth and tulips and combining them with the more vibrant hues associated with summer: coral, red and lime green. I wanted this bouquet to appeal to the senses so used a variety of shapes and textures to provide depth and interest in the design. I particularly love the fragrance of lavender, peonies and hyacinth so wanted those flowers included in the bouquet as they are among my absolute favourites and every bride should be able to hold some of her favourite blooms on her wedding day!<br />
<br />
<b>Flowers</b>: Peonies, 'Amsterdam' coral roses, 'Hearts' roses, hyacinth, viburnum, ranunculus, tulips, lavender, freesia and mixed foliage.<br />

<b>Bouquet by <a href="http://www.krop.com/dominiquehoule/" target="_blank">Dominique Houle</a> in Quebec City and Montreal, Quebec</b><br />
<br />
<b>From the florist:</b> For this bouquet, I was inspired by my countryside surroundings. I live near orchards, flowering beds, forests with a variety of moss, branches and wild fruits, and wanted to showcase that in an arrangement. The jasmine I was growing had also just finished blooming, and the long and delicate stems were perfect for this bouquet. To keep the arrangement romantic yet rustic I added a mix of other soft petals in white, pink and pale green shades.<br />
<br />
<b>Flowers:</b> Peonies, hydrangea, dendrobium aliga, honeysuckle gold flame, jasmine, and gooseberry branches.<br />

<b>Bouquet by <a href="http://www.harmonyflorals.com/" target="_blank">Harmony Florals</a> in Ottawa, Ontario</b><br />
<br />
<b>From the florist:</b> Nature always inspires me. I wanted to create a bouquet that moved and flowed as the bride walks down the aisle, along a forest path or barefoot on the beach. The delicate neutral palette of the flowers captured in a Bohemian garden style will appeal to the rule-breaking traditional bride or to one wanting to travel back to a simpler time.<br />
<br />
<b>Flowers:</b> Dahlias, zinnias, scabiosa, astilbe, amaranthus and protea.<br />
